Irish Examiner view: We need to build culture of consent

Sex education cannot be confined to the classroom

The NUI Galway Active Consent programme study found that 93% of girls and 79% of boys agreed that consent was always required for sexual activity.

A survey never offers a complete picture, rather it gives a snapshot of what is happening at a moment in time. 

It is a toe testing the water, so to speak, or a single piece of a much larger mosaic; it is wise, then, to keep a sense of proportion when assessing the findings of any new poll.
